The Two New Reporters Swamplot Is Ready To Hire

by
5 Comments

Last week we mentioned that Swamplot is ready to do some hiring. We’re pretty excited about this opportunity, and you should be too, even if you’re just a casual reader — because having a larger editorial staff will allow us to expand our coverage. Today we’re announcing 2 new positions. We’ll discuss a third opening tomorrow next week.

Both positions we’re announcing today are for reporter-writers. And really, we think these will turn out to be the best blogging gigs in the city. Interested — or know someone who might be? Here are the details:

Show Us Your Living Rooms! (Or Gardens. Or Bathrooms. Or Whatever.)

by
Houston Architects, Interiors, Notices

A couple readers recently suggested we host a “Swamplot Posters’ Living Room Views” feature, “so that names can be connected to spaces…” Even though something like that might be fun, most of our readers are likely not especially interested in outing the dowdy, dusty, or ultra-mod couches of commenters’ own homes.

But it may be worthwhile to repeat what longtime Swamplot readers likely already know: We’re more than happy to publish photos of our readers’ design creations (anonymously or not, as you wish). If you’ve got a breakfast room or a tiny apartment or a garden or a bedroom you put together that you’d like to share with more people than you could otherwise fit into the space, send us some pix and a brief description of what you think is notable about it.

And if you know someone with more than the usual something goin’ on in the furniture or home decor department, why not give that person a little push? Have your talented friend drop us a line. If you’ve got something interesting to show, hordes of curious Swamplot readers are gonna be eager to take a peek!

Can we all please take a moment to thank Swamplot’s advertisers? They make this site possible. And . . . having more of them would make a lot more possible on this site. We hope you’ll consider joining their ranks!

Swamplot’s newest advertiser is also the sponsor of this week’s Neighborhood Guessing Game. And you’ve seen its ads here before: The Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies at Rice University. The school hopes you’ll check out its personal and professional development and language courses for the spring semester. Offerings include a course on Green Houses and another entitled “Houston’s History Told Through Its Architecture,” taught by Barrie Scardino and Stephen Fox.

One way all readers can support Swamplot is by supporting these continuing advertisers:
